Ingredients
Scale
Apple Filling
- 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
Main Ingredients
- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
- 1 package refrigerated cinnamon rolls with frosting
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the pies.
- Prepare Apple Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples with sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and water. Stir until well mixed to create the apple filling.
- Roll Cinnamon Rolls: Roll out each cinnamon roll dough into flat circles to serve as the base for the pies.
- Assemble Pies: Spoon the apple mixture onto the center of each cinnamon roll circle, then fold the edges over to enclose the filling and create pockets.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the assembled cinnamon roll apple pies in a greased baking dish. Dot the tops with butter for added richness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the pies are golden brown all over.
- Add Frosting: Once baked and slightly cooled, drizzle or spread the frosting included with the cinnamon rolls on top of each pie for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can brush the tops with a little milk or egg wash before baking.
- Feel free to add nuts like walnuts or pecans to the filling for added texture.
- Ensure the apples are chopped uniformly for even cooking.
- The store-bought apple pie filling can be reduced or omitted since fresh apples are used as well, depending on how sweet you prefer.
- Serve warm for best flavor and experience.
